They could have prevented this by wearing hazmat suits to avoid being ionized in the first place.

It grinds my gears that sony software locked the ability to backup saves locally on the PS5 making a PS plus subscription the only way to have a backup of save games. I don’t play multiplayer and don’t play the monthly free games either so I have to pay a premium for the rest of my life to get a basic functionality that was present in ps4 but got nerfed for some dubious reasons in ps5. The recent ps plus price hike was the last straw so I ditched my PS and got into PC gaming and loving it so far.

You guys should team up

I have a rog ally and legion go but I only use the legion go for portable gaming so that’s the only one I’ve tried suspend/resume on and it has worked for the two games that I’m currently playing on it.

Got it. I think I see what you mean but I’m not sure if I just got lucky or if the games I play have accounted for it but I am able to just suspend and resume without issue on my windows handheld. Unless we have different definitions for what we call suspend. When I want to suspend, I usually pause the game and push the power button once and leave it like that for hours and then come back and push the power button again to turn the screen on and resume playing. I’ve done the same thing on a steam deck and it works similarly there as well so I’ve not noticed any difference. Unless you mean the ability to somehow take a snapshot of the running games state and store in on non volatile disk and completely power down and turn it back on to resume. If steam deck can do that out of the box, that is indeed impressive.

I understand this is lemmy and comments like this are to be expected but does it have to be for every post that is related to windows ? In general, I agree that windows has quite a few drawbacks compared to Linux but for gaming pcs, once the initial setup is done, you can just launch a game and it just works without any tinkering. I don’t understand the argument that people should throw away a whole OS and switch to a different one and lose the ability to play a bunch of games in the process. Doesn’t context matter when discussing the pros and cons of something? Or is there some massive drawback to windows for gaming handhelds that I’m not seeing ? Or is there some magic sauce in Linux that makes every single game playable without tinkering ?

I think it’s the convenience and portability that most people like, including me. They don’t have to be played in handheld mode. They can be connected to a monitor and optionally even support external gpus. That’s how I play big titles, docked, with an egpu and a monitor. But when I need to, I can just take the device with me to play smaller titles like sea of stars and mass effect legendary edition on the go

I hope there’s atleast an option to play in third person view.

I remember reading a post here about steam looking to make steamOS available for other handhelds. I think it would make sense for them to get other handhelds to use steamOS , as that may drive up steam usage and sales.

That’s it … you both are grounded … go to your rooms and think about what you’ve done

Just curious, what about go or rust makes them the logical next choice and not java? What do go or rust do better that java doesn’t?

What would your language of choice have been? And why is java horrible for this scenario? it sounds like a reasonably good choice to me
